Alien fan art

Some more Zbrush practice.

This is my version of the Alien Xenomorph, I tried to do a more "mammal" design without the metallic elements of the first movies and the rotten zombie look of the new movies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The idea was to make a more muscular and aggressive design, I hope the Alien fans will appreciate this.

💡For the technical part:

I started from a sphere in #Zbrush and slowly sculpt the main shapes.
Once I was happy with the main shapes I retopo it and created the clean uvs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Back in Zbrush I subdivided and projected the low res retopo model back into the sculpt and worked on details.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once the model/sculpt was finished I did a simple rig in Maya to pose the character properly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The lookdev is done procedurally, the diffuse is a curvature node used to highlight the muscles a little bit, on top of that I did a mixture of noises to break a bit the specular and create some bump micro-detail.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The lighting was done and rendered in #Arnold and I added the BG smokes and haze/glow.
I hope you will enjoy this one.

Cheers!
